Roche Limit for Rigid Satellites Calculator

Compute the Roche limit for rigid satellites based on the primary body's radius and the densities of the two bodies.

Calculate:
radius of the primary:
density of the primary:
density of the secondary:
Assuming radius of the primary, density of the primary and density of the secondary | Use instead
